RECORDING 8: THE THIRD MURDER.

[foundationmods]

A third week, and this is beginning to become routine. Waking on friday, with the knowledge deep down that your number has yet again decreased.

But you must still pull yourself from your bed, and discover who is now forever gone...

As you all rise and look towards a new day, the Miasma laps at your heels...

...And around whatever corpse now lingers in the hallways...

((OOC: 2 people max under a heading, please! Just to keep things easy on the mods. You can switch out with someone else during an investigation if needed.))

[ Zabuza doesn't even look up from Haku's corpse to answer. The body is all that can really hold his attention right now. ]

A ninja's body contains their techniques. He's from Kirigakure. I'm not letting our secrets spread.

[ It feels mechanic to say, but it's not untrue. ]

[Oh a better day, he might have been more patient with this entire thing, but. Well, miasma has a way of making things a little worse for everyone involved and Date's never been that patient a man anyways.]

And I don't give a damn about his ninja techniques. What I do give a damn about is finding out who the hell killed him. So move.

[dreamdispersal]

Hasn't the doctor already been here earlier?

[ Zabuza waists absolutely no time snapping back at Date, finally turning to face him, too. ]

What more do you think you can gather by poking around? His throat was cut, it's pretty fucking obvious.

[eyeforai]

That doesn't mean there's nothing else to find on him, either. It's possible something was missed.

[Or maybe that's just him hoping, who knows.]

[dreamdispersal]

[ There is a pause as Zabuza looks between Date and Haku. You can practically hear the gritting of his teeth. ]

Have at it. Poke him some more, what do I care? Just know I'm watching.

[ To see no techniques are stolen and to.... to just.... ]

[eyeforai]

Look, I'm not doing it because I enjoy it. ...I just want to find the truth.

[But for whatever it's worth, he'll examine the scene as respectfully as he can by not moving around Haku's body too much, except to confirm a couple things about his wounds.]

[dreamdispersal]

[ Zabuza is going to be watching very very carefully. I hope Date enjoys the feeling of being glared at while he works.

Haku is dead and his body is just a thing now, but yet... ]

[eyeforai]

[HE SURE DOESN'T but he'll deal with it because Zabuza is clearly having some sort of... moment here. After he finishes, he'll straighten up and face the other man.]

Did you know him well?

[dreamdispersal]

We were from the same country. He was tasked to execute me for desertion.

[ So that's... reasonably a yes? ]
